Two months into my pregnancy, I realized the state fair would be happening soon after Bennett arrived. I had my heart set through my entire pregnancy to attend the state fair with Bennett, wear him, walk around and eat nasty fried fair food. Closer to my due date, I started to wonder if he would arrive in time to make my “dream” come true. Thankfully, Bennett arrived on time and we started to plan our first major outing to the state fair.

I nursed B at home, we changed his diaper, put him in the car, stopped at food lion for cash and cans (yay for can day at the fair!), found $10 parking and by that time, it was time to nurse again. I live my life in 2 to 2.5 hour increments. As I stated in my last post, I wanted to gain confidence to nurse away from home so this was the perfect opportunity. I jumped in the back of our Ford Flex, grabbed Mr. B, put my cover on and started to nurse. So far so good…. and then a car pulled up next to us.

This late 20’s guy gets out of the passenger side and leans up on his car (facing me) to wait for his girlfriend. The awkward part was that he literally was a foot away from me, facing me. If I rolled down the window, I could reach out and touch him. I start to panic slightly which is completely irrational…. and then Patrick reminds me that our windows are double tinted. Unless you have your face pressed against the glass, you can’t see in. For a good 5 minutes, this guy stood facing me, a foot away and blankly stared. I knew he couldn’t see me but it was so awkward!

BUT then he left, the awkward feeling subsided and I was proud of myself for successfully nursing away from home. Some of yall might be rolling your eyes but for me, it’s a big deal. 🙂 Our date at the fair was perfect. The weather was gorgeous and B did amazing. My heart was full. We can’t wait to take B back next year and ride all the kiddy rides. Life is good yall.

Hope you can make it to the State Fair! We loved it! 🙂
